Will Peter Parker or Miles Morales Lead New Spider-Man Movie?

When Sony and Marvel first announced that Spider-Man was heading to the MCU exactly 2 weeks ago, the internet and Marvel fan boys and girls exploded with excitement. The thought of Spider-Man sharing the same screen as Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, and more got the internet buzzing.

Unfortunately, this means that Spider-Man would be rebooted again, and that means no more Andrew Garfield. A new actor will come on board soon, especially with reports of Spider-Man appearing in Captain America: Civil War.

In the official press release from Marvel, Doug Belgrad, president of Sony Pictures Entertainment Motion Picture Group, said "Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios share a love for the characters in the Spider-Man universe and have a long, successful history of working together. This new level of collaboration is the perfect way to take Peter Parker's story into the future."

In that quote, Belgrad says that Marvel and Sony will share Peter Parker's story. Not Miles Morales'.

However, there have been lots of rumors that Marvel and Sony could go a different route and give us our first non Peter Parker Spider-Man movie.

These reports escalated when Jeff Sneider said on Meet the Movie Press that he was "95% sure" Spider-Man wouldn't be white. Snieder responded with the following tweets, stating that it is not confirmed but just what he has been hearing.

Never said Spider-Man would be Miles Morales, said I was 95% sure Spidey WON'T be white & while they COULD do a Black PP, MM's a possibility

We've seen Peter Parker's story in 5 movies already. Do we really need to see Uncle Ben & Aunt May again and the same love interests? No.

White actors are still going out for Spider-Man but their reps are telling me they think Sony is leaning "ethnic."

I dropped that nugget on MEET THE MOVIE PRESS because it is NOT confirmed and I only report news on TheWrap that has been CONFIRMED somehow.
